Netflix releases teaser for People We Meet on Vacation, Jan 9, 2026

Netflix released the first teaser trailer on Tuesday for People We Meet on Vacation, the film adaptation of Emily Henry's bestselling 2021 novel, and confirmed the romantic comedy will premiere on the streamer on January 9, 2026. The trailer introduces Poppy, played by Emily Bader, and Alex, played by Tom Blyth, two longtime friends whose decade of summer vacations together is tested when they begin to wonder whether their relationship might be something more.

The short clip opens with Poppy at an airport carousel and quickly establishes the pair's contrasting temperaments: Poppy is freewheeling and spontaneous while Alex favors routine. The film follows the pair as they live in different cities but make a point of spending summers together, and as the limits of their platonic arrangement come under strain. The trailer gives a first look at several supporting cast members, including Sarah Catherine Hook, Lucien Laviscount, Miles Heizer, Jameela Jamil, Tommy Do, Lukas Gage, Alice Lee, Molly Shannon and Alan Ruck.

Brett Haley directed the adaptation from a screenplay by Yulin Kuang and Amos Vernon Nunzio Randazzo. The film was produced by 3000 Pictures in partnership with Netflix...
